I'm interested in couple of things:
1. is there a functional FM RADIO module inside th unit?
2. is there a functional GPS module inside th unit?
If YES, how to enable them?
fm radio on rw681
Yes, there is a fm radio module in rw6815.
with file explorer go to windows folder and you will find FMRADIO file, click and you will see the application. You must have earphone connected as antenna.
If you don't see the application, first be sure you select in file explorer menu, "show all files" ( not sure the reel term because I use a french version of rw6815, in French it's " afficher tous les fichiers" ), second,use reso explorer.
Hope this help you.
no answer for the second question.
Regards

NO! There are not fm or gps module in rw6815
thanks a lot...
Is it maybe possible to upgrade rw6815 to wm6 somehow?

Update: New release (RLS 5)
-Comes with 'rogue tools' for overclocking and setting display density will need an update over market to support nike, myn told me he will push it to the market during the next day or so)
-feels smoother, connectivity seems to be a lot better (I never had a faster browsing experiance on my nike than with this build and opera mini), rejoining network after lost signal also seems to be faster
-nice new weather/clock widget
-if you use installd version, the androidupdate.tar from rls4 is still necessary for powermanagement
Myn's new (16.03.2010) Donut android build runs quite smooth on nike! Finally a decent alternative to Ion on nike.
Get it from the vogue forums (SQSH version):

Here is a link to the basefiles I am using:
http://84.23.71.227/kerneloftheday/RootfsBasefiles20100318.zip
The kernels are from dzo's branch with a few minor fixes (vibration, irq-wakeup, red led blinking when in sleep mode). Additionally the kernels should work with enabled HW3D in eclair with boot parameter hw3d.version=1 (not tested yet...).
HowToInstallInANutshell:
-delete old android files from sd
-extract basefiles to sdcard
-extract system.sqsh from myns package and copy to sd
-if you are on a nike100 make sure deafault.txt points at the kernel without vibration (included)
-otherwise default.txt should be fine, most parameters are ignored anyway.
-run haret
-be happy
Impressions:
-sleepmode 1 ok, wakes up, red led blinking. Battery life seems ok, but i only tested a few hours...
-very fast
-many locales, not just english like in good ol' ion
-quite stable net, nice apn autodetect (just had to select from two alternatives), working google stuff
-still not working: bt, incall volume, cam
So, give it a shot and leave your impreesions here!

********** UPDATE ************
Installation with the NoRootfs Method is now possible with working net and powermanagement. This gives us the possibility to use the Themes and the default font and everything else that can be provided via androidupdate.tar
See the Wiki for installation instructions. Make sure that you have the provided 'androidupdate.tar' (see attachment, file is in the zip archieve) in your andboot folder along with the androidinstall.tar when installing.
To install themes just copy them in you andboot folder (must be named androidupdate.tar), reboot into menu -> update (-> fix permissions).
PS: Doesn't seem to work with eclair builds, but could work with other donuts
PPS: This should also work with ext2, if someone tried successfully please let me know. €: Works with ext2
Additionally the kernels should work with enabled HW3D in eclair with boot parameter hw3d.version=1 (not tested yet...).

you've added hw3d support? I tried to do that - all that I got is 3D without textures or simply nothing - black screen. I did same as in this commit in repo.
I did the same. The only build i saw it working was aosp eclair for kaiser (gallery3d worked). Otherwise i got the same errors. I read that the other devices suffer from similar problems.
Ps: Writing this on myns donut. Everything stable so far.

Hi mblaster,
works like a charm here. Very fast and stable. This is the first ever Donut Build with stable working Data i've seen....
Only Point is, that icons are really very small. Seem to me even smaller than in the old Cupcake Releases with 320x480...
Tried higher settings for lcd.density, but screens don't fit than anymore.
Have you tried it with a non modded system Image ?

ECLAIR
because you are starting another section of the eclair?
already has almost no one accessing the other thread ...... I have a question there for two days and no one responds more ..
I am very impressed with the progress of the android in my eclair NIKI100 (20 keys)
is making calls, receiving messages, all volumes of the system are working (calls, music (I had to install another player why that came standard did not work), alarm etc. ..) I'm using it for three days, battery lasts long , it does not heat the unit, since I use it in everyday life.
now I have some questions for you:
is so difficult to operate the headphones?
I love listening to music, especially in the way of work, if possible, please someone do work ....
particularly hate wm, I think one day we niki users, we can get the WM and definitely use the android, (because you can try to do everything, are the gods of HTC ....).
another question, I can change the theme of the eclair? wanted it like this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=600154, it is possible??
I'm not charging, just begging! rsrsrsrs
Congratulations XDA....( GODS OF HTC)
Hi there,
together with mblaster's combination of basefiles in the first post of this Thread, the sqsh Version of the image in this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=591104 works also...
mblaster; seem's you've found/made the ultimate combination for Donut Images. PERFECT !

Theming with Metamorph
I been reading around on Vogue's thread and Metamorph catched my attention. It can style up android theme. Is this apps runs well on this build. I am confused because based on this site http://www.androlib.com/android.application.stericson-xda-metamorph-xnFD.aspx it can only run n Rooted phones. What is rooted phones anyway and can this run well in nike100 with the android build posted in this thread?
When is the nand version available? I think the only thing missing now in nike100 are camera and vibration features. Great job!
More Power!!!
Anyone encountered the "Half Size" icon problem ?
This is, when there's a reload of the Home Screen, all icons are suddenly half the size than normal. I had this after leaving the Browser.
Couldn't find a solution for that behaviour. Any ideas ?

You have to disable PIN in WinMobile afaik for all builds so far.
About wifi: The stickies say no wifi on nike. Never.
"never ever say never" ;DD
thanks anyway for Pin code tip.
Network problem
got two bugs here.
1. browsed from wm then switchd to android. i cannot connect anymore when in android. even if i reconfigure my apn.
2. switching from phon mode to airplane mode and airplane mode to phone mode will stuck in airplane mode.
@mblaster
how to enable apn autodetect?
@mblaster
First of all, good idea with the new wiki. Hope to add some things in the near future...
had the idea of creating system.sqsh files of all variants (Themes) of the original Vogue Thread. So i downloaded one of the androidupdate.tar files, und untared it "over" the files of the original ones in the androidinstall.tar file. Made an ext2 System and then a Squashfs System with genext2fs.
But no success....
Booting stucks obviously just before the Android Setup Wizzard should appear. Any Ideas ? Perhaps a permission problem ?

me again...
just got a flash in my brain...
probably a story about the rootfs because of different load types (NoRootFs vs. Classical sqsh File) ?
so what about mounting the original sqsh Image and untaring the update "over" the rootfs ? ...
@lagloose: Might be an issue because the androidupdate.tar files are made for norootfs. Perhaps its time to move on to an installed version without rootfs...
@ebautista: Sorry, but I do not maintain myn's build. Perhaps it would be a good idea to report bugs in myn's thread in the vogue forums. APN detection worked for me right out of the box. Do you use the basefils from this thread?
€: your brainflash was faster than my typing... but perhaps you should at laest try to set the right permissions, it might work
Hi all,
Just tested sqsh Image from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=628459. Not completely tested but seem to work also with our basefiles.
I'm working on a way to get themed Images for us Nike Users. Still some problems to solve, but shouldn't be that difficult...
As soon as i've found a way, i'll state it here.
Greetz, lagloose
I really would suggest to move on to NoRootFs for various reasons:
The theme packages are already available there
The basefiles are still supported and regularly updated, while SQSH is dying out, and as there are very few devs for nike we should try to profit from the progress made on other devices
There should be no drawbacks, just a few more MB on sd-card for the system
The installer for systems / updates is extremely useful (theming, installing your favourite apps in one shot ...)
Give it a try, you will find a little howto and links to ressources in the wiki
mblaster,
€: OK, I have good and bad news. The good news is that it seems like you can keep your datafile after switching to norootfs. The bad news is that sleep doesn't work anymore (same settings/build/kernel) -> The problem that prevents us from using more recent builds seems to exist inthe basefiles!!!
Basically thids leaves two possibilities: Either its in the part of the nonexistant rootfs that now is part of the system, or (my guess) it is in the initrd. At least it does not seem to be a problem with the kernel.

..same here after trying. I also couldn't get a Data Connection. Obviously Network Device ppp0 is missing. So i'd guess, that your guess concerning the initrd is correct. Unfortunately, i won't have the time to look after the problem in the next days. So for now we still have to use the SQSH files, until the problems are fixed...
hi, mblaster,
i want to download the file as "Get it from the vogue forums (SQSH version):

Could you email to me a file that it can running on nike100, thnks

I am quite sure now that the initrd is fine and the problem is in the Rootfs, or better what is left of it. The latest working basefiles include a Rootfs dated to 2009-11-16. There is a newer Rootfs on sourceforge (sometime in december 09) that shows the same problems (net/powermanagement/shutdown). As parts of the rootfs are included in the androidinstall.tar images, thos errors are still there. My update file (now included in post 1) overwrites those files with versions from the 11/16 rootfs. That leeds to a working system (with the new initrd).
Unfortunately the update is incompatible with the newer eclair builds that are around. Seems like they use another rootfs that rejects the old files...
Does anyone maintain a git repo of the rootfs? It would be interesting to patch the problem for good
Hi,
i know most of u guys are "nerds" (like me?!?!) and use linux - but sadly im still on win7 with my main shares
Anyway i did a lot of research now on google and several forums about how 2 access the win7 shares from our archos (mainly from the video and music app)!
Bit I didn't found a damn way without looseing my whole securtity settings -> most solutions are going to disable whole security and allow guest access,...
(Well actualy i got the problem of all others: u type in login + pw and press ok - and u get asked again and again for it)
Anyway some ppl use cifs as far as i read but I even dont get what cifs exactly does (somehow mounting network folders as far as I read - but it seemed to be steady - and does it work from music and video app?)
So any help appreciated
regards

The problem with W7 is that it introduced some new features and encrypts in a different way.
All other windows versions where patched so that they can work.
But as it is a close source thing of MS it takes some time until it gets into samba or ther tools.
Did you read http://forum.archosfans.com/viewtopic.php?f=63&t=45908
and tried http://www.jankamp.com/2010/11/windows-share-manager/ ?
y found those links about deinstalling win live - and using share manager - sry i didnt wrote that.
But share manager rly disables all security as far as i understood - anyway it also didnt work for me somehow.
So seems using an external explorer or perhaps cifs - dunno if that work and how - seems to be the only options
u got a good source on howto use cifs with UD if that works? As far as i understood its "mounted" in a local folder and the n accessible!?!?
EDIT:
searching on my own i think - dont want begging u with things i can find on google
anyway update for http://code.google.com/p/urukdroid/wiki/UrukServices is needed
So you are using Uruk?
And you started the cifs server via UrukConfig?
It is up to UD 1.5RC1 normally off after the start.
yes this is what i did so far - but i didnt edit the config file yet
Hi, just got an Ace for Christmas, it has Android 2.3.3. I was able to mount it in Archlinux over bluetooth, using:
Code:
obexfs -b mac_address mountpoint
After I run that command, on the phone I get a notification asking if it's okay to pair with my computer, and I accept. BTW there's a radio-button "Allways allow" but it's greyed out and I can't activate it, any ideas?
However I can navigate through the folders from my computer, but in DCIM/Camera I see no files. However with the app "My Files" from the phone I can see the .jpgs are there. If I long click on them and then select "Details", the last entry says "Bluetooth visibility" and it's set to off, but if I click on it it doesn't change - it remains on off.
How can I see the files from my linux box over bluetooth?
no one else having this problem or some idea as to what I may try to solve it?
just bumping... can someone with an Ace reading this say if they have bluetooth working or not?
Probably no one tried your method of connecting :/
It seems so unorthodox
Herpderp Adreno + Tegra.
AFAIK it's the standard way in Linux... at least so it seems from the Archwiki... what are you using?

jjboogie, I am trying to achieve the same,and obexfs seems to be the right way of doing this. Seems the missing part the FTP Server in the Atrix needs to be on. I read that from another post and I am trying to figure what that means. (http----ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=11593617#post11593617)
Good links:
http----dev.zuckschwerdt.org/openobex/wiki/ObexFs----
https----wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Bluetooth#Pairing----
(sorry for the dashes.. forum rules)
Good news! got it working!
This is what I found / understand:
In order to use obexfs, the phone's obexftp functionality needs to be enable. Some phones includes obexftp and you can enable it in advance bluetooth setting. But the Atrix doesn't include obexftp.
So the solution is you need an app that has obexFTP server. For this I use the "Bluetooth File Transfer" app from the market. After the server is runing, you can run the obexfs commands (ie. obexfs -b 40:FC:89:02:11:17 /mnt/mb860)
Summarized steps:
1) Pair the Atrix with the PC
2) Install "Bluetooth File Transfer" on the phone
3) Make sure Bluetooth FTP server is on
- click on the bluetooth tab
- hit phone button for menu --> More --> Setting --> Sharing Service (FTP)
- here you can set the FTP server as you need
4) Mount the phone to the PC
Let me add..
There is also another FTP Server program called: "ES File Explorer"
Don't know which is better, so trying them now...
I also did notice significant battery drain from having the FTP Server on
